Nicki Minaj sent Toronto-based writer Wanna Thompson a private message on Twitter in response to her criticism about her music.

On June 29, Thompson tweeted, “You know how dope it would be if Nicki put out mature content? No silly s**t. Just reflecting on past relationships, being a boss, hardships, etc. She’s touching 40 soon, a new direction is needed.”

Thompson then tweeted about the Chun Li rapper sending her a private message on Twitter. She wrote, “Nicki Minaj exhibited #Queen behaviour when she hopped in my DMs and insulted me numerous times over an innocent music opinion while her fans continue to harass me and DM me death threats. This is NOT okay.”

She posted a screenshot of the message Minaj sent to her. The rapper wrote, “When ya ugly a** was 24, you were pushing 30? I’m 34. I’m pushing 40? Lol. And what does that have to do with my music?”

Thompson responded to Minaj, writing, “I 100 per cent stand by everything I said about your music and it wasn’t a malicious jab, it was a critique. I’ve seen multiple people come at you left on this app. Whether it be about your hair, your body or your music and I went to bat for you on numerous occasions.”

After Thompson posted the screenshots to Twitter, she began to receive a lot of hate from Minaj’s superfans.

She spoke with The New York Times and revealed she was fired from her internship with KarenCivil.com and has even received multiple death threats from people on social media.

The 26-year-old writer has been under constant harassment on all of her social media accounts, including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and she’s been receiving hate email. Some people have even gotten a hold of her phone number.

I’m late but #istandwithwanna because she showed love to me, a complete stranger, and even led to multiple sales to my biz just off of a RT. Been following her since and I’ve never seen anyone advocate for the black woman like she does. Much love, girl. 💕 @WannasWorld

What have people become? if this is a child using the Internet I sincerely hope the parents are contacted & actions are taken against this type of bullying, unkind words and ushering threats / suggestions of death and speaking about a woman’s child UNACCEPTABLE! #IStandWithWanna

Can we please just talk about how amazing Nicki Minaj is? Every year she helps tons of students pay off their debts, buy equipment, and buy text books. Like this woman is the definition of giving back and appreciating her fans.
